‘No, it was not my night, we cannot water down the work my rival Oscar did. He put in a great fight, made a great preparation and the result is there, the truth is it was already hard for me to give the Super Feather a lot, I don’t want to make an apology because at the end of the day I think there are none in boxing. It wasn’t my night, it wasn’t my best version, the truth is I didn’t feel fast like other nights, it could be that the weight was affecting me, maybe the light weight that I see very close and, well, to sit down go down with our team and see what’s best for me, what’s best for Miguel Berchelt ”, the man from Cancun began.
He was pushed for what could define his promotion in the category, saying it will be a final analysis with his work team. “Without a doubt I can see the Lightweight category very close, but we sit down with our work team, with Mario Abraham with Fernando Beltrán with Alfredo Caballero and see what was done right, what was done wrong, go through the cassette. , the movie, make the necessary adjustments and come back stronger, correct the mistakes as was done in the first defeat we had, which was a defeat I did many years ago and became world champion ”.
Commenting that Alfredo Caballero was heavily criticized for not stopping the fight for that 10th round knockout, he said that confidence in the work did not allow the Sonoran coach to stop the fight. “It’s normal, people will crucify you if the results aren’t what you want, but the truth is I felt good, I felt strong and I told Caballero not to stop the fight, I think that’s why he chose not to quit.it, i think he knows his fighter, he knows from my interest that i wanted to win, he knows what was played and the result was like that, we didn’t lose by knockout, these are things that happen in boxing, you win and you lose he and you have to think of him as a man who is one and other benefits will come to us, ”Miguel emphasized.
Berchelt believes he has disappointed many who trusted him And no doubt looking at the knockout against it, it was impressive. “I saw the video, it was without a doubt a very thunderous fall, it was a full blow, very. The truth is, there wasn’t much to do in the fall; the truth that I was disconnected was a very clean blow that hit me and, well, no way to correct mistakes and come back stronger, ”he described.
And finally, the promise to return inspired by one of the most inspiring films in the world, that of Rocky Balboa. “I’m a fan of Rocky movies and without a doubt, as it says in the movie, it doesn’t matter how many times you fall, but how many times you get up and get back to the ring, and no doubt we’re going to go back stronger” , the Mexican concluded.
